Anyone have any pics of a 135 on a 5.5" wheel? I'm wondering if it's going to stretch too much?

It will stretch a little but thats the official look anyways since way back. I think 135's look better on the front of bugs, Type 3 and ghias. I like low profile tires on busses. BRB with some pics Lee.

Thanks. Those look good and they stretch less than I was figuring. I have 175/55's and I would rather use the 135's on the bug.
Are you guys using tubes?

I think they only look good if you are running a narrowed beam. On a stock width beam you see them too much and I think they look like hell. If they're tucked and burried up inside the fender, they look good.
